Extra Information "Symphony of Sumer" is a Symphonic Piece Written for Symphony Orchestra and Choir in Seven parts. It is in the form of several styles and using vocal texts in ancient Sumerian or Akkadian. This narrative revolves around an ancient historical story of the Sumerian people, which is narrated in the language of music. This symphony is based on the themes and hymns of the Sumerian tablets dating back to about 4000 BC and is mixed with contemporary multi-form music in a postmodernist style.
